Hi,

That is the official keyboard in Canada (The only official one...):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Canadian_Multilingual_Standard

some links about it:

http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/its-nit/standards/tbits05/crit05_e.asp
http://www.olf.gouv.qc.ca/ressources/ti/clavier.html

That's the keyboard norm:
http://www.olf.gouv.qc.ca/ressources/ti/ISO_CEI8859-1.pdf

The other one "French Canadian" is the Legacy one. Right now there is
no way any government institution in Québec will use Debian because
you can't select the right keyboard. It's also the keyboard Apple
ships with their Macbook (inc. Pro and Air)

Cheer,
-Bruno
